Running Mates

Nothing much to report on, although the mid semester break is soon. So a well-deserved one-week break is in order.

Weekends were basically stay at home and play games and read books type. I did do some discussion with my parents on where to go for my out-of-Sydney clinical placement, and I've decided to head up to Woy Woy, near Gosford. Maybe not the most exciting place, but it's a relaxing place and relatively close to home. I'm planning on staying there for the whole six weeks. It's a bit of a bother to drive up and down and I'm not sure that after my shift I'd be awake enough to drive home.

Planned accommodation is a caravan park in the area. It's only $60 a night, compared to the other offerings which come in at $120 minimum. Some people have this fear about caravan parks. Like it's a dodgy place filled with unemployed shifty people living in run down caravans. That's not the case at all. Most caravan parks are well looked after and the staff are generally friendly. To be honest I haven't stayed in an actual caravan. Either I've pitched a tent or stayed in a cabin. A cabin is like a fully functional room with a kitchen and usually an ensuite. Depending on what cabin and what caravan park you get a queen's size bed and some bunk beds. It's a nice cheap way to stay at a place. If you want better facilities or whatnot then stay at a Big4 caravan park. Those parks are rated minimum 4 stars and have very strict rules and codes of conduct. But it is very luxurious and safe.

Meh, that's really all there is. Oh, and a little funny clip I found on Youtube.

Meh, I've stayed in plenty of caravan parks around Australia. It's just your paranoia since you've never been in one. But if you ever get the chance, then try it out. There are 4 star caravan parks around.
